What do you mean by "reciprocal links"?
Reciprocal links are a form of online marketing where two complimentary sites agree to place a link to each other's website. This form of marketing benefits both sites not only because they benefit from highly targeted traffic looking for related services but also because their own site is now a richer information source for their existing users.

What is the difference between a "Directory of Business Links" and a "Related Links Directory"?
At Reciprocal Marketing! we support you building either general directories of business links or more targeted directories of related links. The choice of which best suits your needs depends on your target audience and what you wish to achieve.

Directory of Business Links:
These directories provide your users with valuable leads to other services they may be seeking as well as providing you with a wide pool of sites who might be interested in exchanging links. These directories suit the wide majority of business focused websites.

Directory of Related Links:
Directories of reciprocal links from sites in related areas provide the most targeted traffic. However, unless your site relates to a broad, popular topic these directories generally have fewer links and are slower to build.

If you are in any doubt about which type best suits your needs, don't hesitate to contact our customer services for a free consultation.

How long will it take to build my directory?
Once you complete sign up, your link directory is immediately ready to begin customisation. However, during busy periods your FREE domain name may take a few hours to register and configure - you will be notified by email once this is done. Your directory is now ready!

However, building an interesting collection of links takes time. You can expect that, budget allowing, within one month you can have a reasonable directory for your visitors to use.

Can I customise the look and feel of my link directory?
Yes you can. Your directory can be customised to match your existing website as closely as you require. Not only can you select the colors, fonts, and page format you prefer but also the keywords and descriptions used in each page's meta tags.

Can I determine what topics are included in my link directory?
Yes you can. When your link directory is setup we create it with a selection of standard topics that match the type of directory you have selected. You can at anytime add or remove a topic.

Can I determine what sort of links you collect?
Yes you can. At anytime you can include a new topic in your directory and we will immediately begin looking for new links to fill this space. In addition, you can require that any new link needs your approval before it is included in the directory.

I have my own domain, can I use this for my link directory?
Yes you can. Please contact our customer services for details.

How much will my link directory cost?
You only pay when Reciprocal Marketing! arranges a link for you. You set how much you wish to spend either per month or in total to achieve your marketing goals. Remember, the more links you arrange the more referral traffic your site receives and the better you rank in the search engines.

How does my link directory affect my search engine placement?
Your link directory is designed to achieve the maximum benefit for you from search engines. Not only will your link directory increase the number of pages that you have listed in the main engines but the resource rich content of each page will enhance your ranking in these engines. In addition, many search engines favour sites that have many links to them ("link popularity") - each page in your link directory links back to your main site providing enhanced link popularity.

How and When will you bill me?
We bill monthly commencing from one week from the date of signup to the credit card that you provided when you joined. We only bill for those reciprocal links that we have arranged during that period. So, if no new links have been arranged then you will not be charged!

What happens if I want to stop using your service?
The information we collect for you is your "property". If, for whatever reason, you should decide to stop using our service, we will immediately transfer this information to you at no cost. In addition, we will continue to host your link directory for a further 30 days and after this ensure that any requests for pages previously part of your directory are redirected to your new website.

How does it work with the "free" domain you provide?
Signup today and we provide you with a free domain name to host your link directory. This promotion covers the first year of registration for your domain name. After your first year, we will automatically renew your domain and charge this cost to your account. No need to remember when your domain is due, we take care of it! Domains are renewed at a cost of US$20 per year.

What if I only have a few links in a month?
Despite our best efforts, sometimes there may be only a few links arranged in a particular billing period. In this case we will include these amounts in your next credit card charge, however, your charge will never be greater than the monthly budget you have set.
